Robert W. Eifler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Noble Corporation, stated "I am pleased with the performance of the Noble team over the third quarter. Notably, the Noble Lloyd Noble has now started its contract for Equinor in Norway and I'd like to thank our employees and local business partners for their effort and focus.  We also recently completed the successful sale of four jackups in Saudi Arabia. That transaction further bolsters our balance sheet, creates value for our shareholders, and supports our return of capital strategy."  

Third Quarter Results

Contract drilling services revenue for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $231 million compared to $200 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in revenue was largely due to contract commencements on the Noble Clyde Boudreaux and Noble Faye Kozack (formerly Pacific Khamsin); and higher operating days on the Noble Scott Marks, Noble Tom Prosser, Noble Sam Croft, and Noble Stanley Lafosse (formerly Pacific Sharav). Additionally, contract drilling services revenue included a reduction of $14 million in each of the second and third quarters of 2021 related to the non-cash amortization of favorable customer contract intangibles. Marketed fleet utilization was 81 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 74 percent in the second quarter.

Contract drilling services costs for the third quarter were $189 million, in line with the second quarter of 2021. As a result, contract drilling margin increased to 23 percent from 12 percent in the previous period when excluding the non-cash intangible amortization. During the third quarter, Noble incurred approximately $10 million of costs in connection to damages sustained during Hurricane Ida.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $47 million compared to $10 million in the second quarter of 2021.            

Upon emergence from restructuring, Noble adopted fresh-start accounting which resulted in Noble becoming a new reporting entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes.  Accordingly, our financial statements and notes after February 5, 2021 are not comparable to our financial statements and notes prior to that date.  As required by GAAP, results must be presented separately for the predecessor period up to February 5, 2021 (the "Predecessor" period) and the successor period from February 6, 2021 through all dates after (the "Successor" period). 

Operating Highlights

Jackups – Over the course of the third quarter, the Noble Tom Prosser was awarded a new contract with Santos for three wells in Australia.  These firm wells are expected to start in the first quarter of 2022 in direct continuation of the rig's current contract with Santos.  In the UK North Sea, our customer IOG elected to exercise the first of two one-well options for the Noble Hans Deul.  In September the Noble Lloyd Noble received its Acknowledgement of Compliance from the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway and in late-October commenced its contract with Equinor.  The Noble Regina Allen recently completed its contract with BHP in Trinidad and Tobago and the Company is pursuing opportunities for follow-on work in the region.

Floaters – The Noble Gerry de Souza (formerly Pacific Santa Ana) completed its plug and abandonment contract with Petronas in Mauritania.  Since program conclusion in August, the rig has since mobilized to Las Palmas to complete installation of a managed pressure drilling system and a second blowout preventer stack in preparation for previously announced work in Suriname for APA Corporation.  In early September, the Noble Faye Kozack began operations for Petronas in Mexico and is expected to return to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to start its next contract with Murphy in the fourth quarter.

Backlog and Liquidity Update       

At September 30, 2021, the Company's estimated revenue backlog totaled approximately $1.5 billion.  Additionally, the Company had total liquidity of $588 million consisting of $112 million in cash and $476 million available under its revolving credit facility.

On November 3, 2021, Noble completed the sale of four jackup rigs working in Saudi Arabia. The company expects to generate approximately $285 million in cash from the transaction net of fees, expenses, and the settlement of working capital. Applying the net proceeds on a pro forma basis, liquidity would have been approximately $873 million at September 30, 2021. Excluding the backlog related to the rigs sold, total backlog would be approximately $1.4 billion.

Outlook

Commenting on the state of the offshore drilling industry, Mr. Eifler added, "Oil prices remained stable through the third quarter and within a dollar-per-barrel range that provides supportive economics for our customers' offshore projects. Global energy demand also continues to normalize from last year's pandemic-driven lows. On the back of these global macro improvements, the rig market has continued to show consistent signs of recovery throughout 2021, especially in the UDW segment. These recent market trends are encouraging and are supportive of our strategy to implement a sustainable return of capital policy."

The Company also provided updated guidance for full year 2021 and full year 2022:

Guidance (1,2)

Guidance (1)

Adjusted Revenue (3)

$870 - $900

Capital Expenditures

$175 - $195

$115 - $130



(1)

Guidance is as of November 4, 2021.  Noble's guidance is provided on a guidance basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management evaluates Noble's financial performance in part based on guidance basis, which management believes enhances investors' understanding of Noble's overall financial performance by providing them with an additional meaningful and relevant comparison of current and anticipated future results across periods. The adjustments to arrive at guidance basis are described below.  Due to the forward-looking nature of Adjusted EBITDA, management cannot reliably predict certain of the necessary components of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure. Accordingly, the company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort.

(2)

The Company has combined the 2021 results for the Predecessor and Successor periods as non-GAAP measures when giving full-year 2021 guidance since we believe it provides the most meaningful basis to analyze our 2021 results.

(3)

Adjusted to exclude recognition of the non-cash intangible contract asset amortization of ~$51 million and ~$44 million in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Without this adjustment, Revenue guidance ranges for 2021 and 2022 would be $819 million - $849 million and $1,006 million - $1,081 million, respectively.

(4)

The Company discloses Adjusted EBITDA (Operating income/loss excluding Depreciation and Amortization and, when applicable, Other Items). Other Items include amortization of intangible contract assets, restructuring related items, merger and integration costs, transaction costs on sale of operating assets, gain on bargain purchase, professional fees related to a tax refund success fee and other corporate initiatives, and hurricane related losses.

(5)

Of the total calendar days available for our fleet in 2022, Noble assumes 88% of the days are operating days (excluding cold stacked rigs). Of the operating days, 65% are currently under firm contract, and 16% are assumed exercised options.

Fleet Status Report

In conjunction with third quarter results, the Company has also provided an updated "Fleet Status Report" which reflects the current status and contract information for each of its rigs.  The updated report can be found under the "Our Fleet" section of Company's website.

Conference Call

Noble has scheduled a conference call related to its third quarter 2021 results on Friday, November 5, 2021, at 8:00 a.m. U.S. Central Time.  Interested parties can access the call at https://events.q4inc.com/attendee/619174973 or via a live webcast available through the Company's Investor Relations website at https://investors.noblecorp.com.  A replay of the webcast will be available on the Investor Relations website for a limited time following the scheduled call.

NOBLE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NON-GAAP MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION

Certain non-GAAP performance measures and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the Company have been provided for meaningful comparisons between current results and prior operating periods. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as net loss from continuing operations before income taxes; interest income and other, net; gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, net; interest expense, net of amounts capitalized; loss on impairment; pre-petition charges; reorganization items, net; certain corporate legal matters; and depreciation and amortization expense. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA measure provides greater transparency of our core operating performance.

 In order to fully assess the financial operating results, management believes that the results of operations, adjusted to exclude the following items, which are included in the Company's press release issued on November 4, 2021, are appropriate measures of the continuing and normal operations of the Company:


(i)

In the third quarter of 2020, a gain on debt extinguishment, discrete tax items, pre-petition charges and reorganization items;





(ii)

In the second quarter of 2021, a gain on bargain purchase, merger and integration costs, intangible contract amortization and discrete tax items. The quarter also included professional services costs related to a success fee associated with the ultimate recovery of a tax refund and corporate projects including registrations of our post-emergence debt and equity, listing on the New York Stock Exchange and other corporate initiatives.





(iii)

In the third quarter of 2021, merger and integration costs, transaction costs on sale of operating assets, hurricane losses, intangible contract amortization and discrete tax items. The quarter also included professional services costs related to corporate initiatives.

These non-GAAP adjusted measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, contract drilling revenue, contract drilling cost, contract drilling margin, average daily revenue, operating income, cash flows from operations, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see the following non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations for a complete description of the adjustments.
